there is no death listing for fred shuessler casting director on gone with the wind. if he were alive today he would be in the Guiness book of World Records as the oldest person alive today.
Posted 2 years ago
Frederick Edward Schuessler is in the U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index which should only feature deceased people.

ahhhh I saw that and thought the 1936-2007 meant year of birth and death and that it was someone else with the same name. The answer was right under my nose the whole time.

Hi Tamas,
I agree it seems unlikely that Fred is still alive, however we shouldn't put a death date on his page without receiving some form of evidence that proves this is the case. The absence of data is better than presumed data. I've moved this thread to the "I need to know" section so hopefully another contributor interested in birth and death dates will spot it and be able to provide an answer.
Regards,
Will

WE can not search for just a Birth Date with the Death Date blank (No date)
for those old folks still here ? ?
Can IMDb add something like
[x] No Death Date
JamesMMM added this link that likely would show his death date for anyone who has a subscription to ancestry.com. I was almost going to get a free trial just to look but I always forget to cancel before the first bill comes. https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=ZIG58&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=t...
I'm not clicking the wiki link because pictures of people who are insanely old freak me out,
But You like slasher movies?
So if I make the Movie, Night of the Living Dead at the Old Folks Home. it would scare you the most?
I think I've solved this mystery. Here's Fred Schuessler's obituary from the Saturday, Feb. 3, 1962 Los Angeles Times.
So he would have died on Tuesday, January 30, 1962.
Here's a larger jpg with the publication date included:

Tom,
With one exception, many of the titles listed on his filmography were released by RKO Radio Studios. As noted in the obituary, he was a casting director for RKO Studios. In addition, his birth month and year (July 12, 1896) and his death on January 30, 1962, confirmed his age at the time of his death (65).
Thanks for the posting this information. If you have an IMDb user account and you have not done so already, you can submit the missing death date data yourself. Include the URL of this discussion page in the explanation box.

CliffJ, my biggest fear is becoming deformed or having a deformed baby (my next biggest fear being having a baby period), but Eraserhead bored me to tears. I'm just able to distinguish between reality and make-up. No point feeling bad for or freaking out about someone who can wipe their make-up off and go home looking normal when shooting is done. If they used real ultra-old people in the movie then yeah I'd be freakin' out though, to be honest
Thank you all so much for your input, great exchange of ideas and the mysteries of life. especially want to thank groovyvic and Edwin Jones III.
You are very welcome 
Was just checking out something unrelated. This is in the no way department. Fred the cockatoo from Baretta TV program is still alive @ over 100 years old. Did not know that they lived that long.
Dont know if this is the same Fred the Cockatoo, but there is a news story online about a Fred the Cockatoo turning 100. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-02/wildlife-park-throws-a-100th-birthday-party-for-an-old-cockato...
I literally googled "cockatoo lifespan" out of curiosity and that was like the 3rd link down
Weird huh
